Nagarkot Hiking: hike with passion

Nagarkot Hiking

Yesterday, July 25, Saturday (holiday). For me a wonderful day. I made a hike to Nagarkot, the picturesque hill, with the Himalayan shadow. I made a plan and also shared it with friends, some of them became ready but absent on a walking day. I had already planned it, so I moved to Sankhu, to start the Nagarkot hike. It takes about 1.5 hours on a local bus to reach there.

One of the features of the hike is the views that you can see. Mostly, there are terraced rice fields. You have to be lucky to see these green fields all the time, but the green views of the forests can be seen always. Many houses are there but scattered. The trail is easy, which is also a graveled (sometimes pitched road too). It is peaceful, and sometimes a motorbike comes from your backside or front.

Muahhh
The day was just awesome, with no sunlight, no clouds, and no foggy. I had rainproof pants but not a jacket. I was fearing if I should walk in the rain. But nothing there to worry about. The road is flat. You just have to walk comfortably. The traditional people and houses are there. I could see that there are still some houses uncleaned after the earthquake destruction. Also, new houses made from tin are there, most of them.

While walking I saw no other people walking. So sometimes I was a bit confused if I was on the right track. I saw a girl walking with a nice smile. She is really energetic.

Now, I had to walk through the same way but without habitations. I saw the cattle were grazing. Then the forest area began. Oh..no, there was rain. I could not think of what to do. Then I stood under a tree. Wow...no long time rain. After a gradual 2.5 hour walk, I reached Kattike. A place to rest and drink something.

From Kattike, it is up gradual up but with breathtaking scenery. The views of the city area down there...wow. I met two hikers. One helped me to take photos.

Just stunning

I reached Nagarkot after four hours walk. If you walk at a bit fast pace, then it will be a little faster. I stayed at Hotel Galaxy in Nagarkot. Good price. After lunch, I went on walking. I met another friend who was also staying at the same hotel with a guest. We walked around and talked really a lot, sometimes of movies, drama, politics, government and bla bla.
New earthquake-proof houses

Nice view  
Our main waiting was this morning to view the sunrise. It was raining yesterday so the views are really nice. I got up in the early morning and got some glistening moments. The sun was over the high Himalayas that can be seen from Nagarkot.

Wowwwwwww 
Concluding my spectacular trip to Nagarkot, I drove to Kathmandu, where I stay. I had to reach the office on time. Goodbye Nagarkot. See you next time.

  Summary   Witten by J.B.S. Haldane, in the essay entitled 'What I Require from Life', talks about the socialistic convictions seeking works places where the workers can have a democratic environment. It has been written in a very simple and clear form that readers can get the real purpose of his writing, which is to uplift the working class. At the beginning of the essay, Haldane states that he is required to accept the universe as it is. He illustrates four requirements of the human being that are exciting work, good health, friendship, and freedom.   Haldane shows the connection of his individual necessities with the hopes for the rest of the human beings. He is against capitalism and the bourgeois capitalists because they only think about enrich themselves and do not think about the workers, especially in times of economic depression, which will leave them jobless. For this reason, he raises the voice in favor of workers. According to him, workers should control their
